Remark
You need 2 facts to solve this
1. The area of a hexagon is
A = 3*(sqrt(3) ) * a^2/2
Just to make this clear, I'll put it in Latex
2. The second fact you need to know is that the radius = the length of the side a.
Givens
r = 20 in
a = r where a is the length of the side of a hexagon.
Formula Substitute and solve.
A = 3*(sqrt(3) * a^2 ) / 2
A = 3*(sqrt(3) * 20^2) / 2
A = 3*sqrt(3) * 400 / 2
A = 3*sqrt(3) * 200
A = 3*1.7321 * 200
A = 1039 square inches.

The definition of the tangent function tells you
tan(angle) = (300 ft) / (distance to mountain)
This equation can be rearranged to
(distance to mountain) = (300 ft) / tan(angle)
For the far end of the river,
distance to far end = (300 ft) / tan(24°) ≈ 673.8 ft
For the near end of the river
distance to near end = (300 ft) / tan(40°) ≈ 357.5 ft
Then the width of the river can be calculated by finding the difference of these distances:
width of river = distance to far end - distance to near end
width of river = 673.8 ft - 357.5 ft
width of river = 316.3 ft
The appropriate answer choice is
316 ft.
